Bullying (Its Bad Mmmkay!!!!)
School bullies thrive on other peoples pain. Either that or they do not possess the social skills to keep friends so their friends are only there friend through the fear of being bullied. The school bully is usually very aggressive and won’t leave there victims alone.
Victims of bullying needs to stay away from the bully and do not provoke the bully. The victim needs to go a different way to class that avoids the bully. If the bully is walking in he same hall the victim needs to go to the opposite side of the hall. And avoid any eye contact. A bully will go for the kid that is a loner so they need to stay with a group of people. If the bully victim acts like the bully is not bothering the kid the bully will leave him alone after a period of time and move on to someone else.
Also they need to tell people about the problems that they are having. Tell teachers or the principle about the bully. Although they don’t have to worry about the bully cause it has been said that a bully will not have a very successful life. They won’t be able to keep jobs or friends.
There are many variations of solutions to eliminate the plague of bullying. While many have been discussed we will narrow it down to a small spectrum for the purposes of this educational video.
Throughout this video you will see different ways that the scene can play out. We will be showing two different scenarios, one that would be where the bully is being a wussy and then where he sticks up for his self.

("What people do on March 32nd")
Mr.Neuberger gave us an assignment to get done in 15 minutes. So we came up with a question for people. We asked them what they do on March 32nd. It was interesting on how many people had to think about what they were doing before being able to give an answer. SO ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halo Interview
The purpose of the video is to show Halo Fans and non Halo fans what leads up to the beginning of Halo 1. And what it is like to be a professional Halo player. We are gonna take you into the life of a professional Halo player. We think that we did a fair job in making this video. We started out wanting to make an instructional video on how to be a successful Halo Player. We had to change our original idea because we could not find the right data to do so. Then we came into contact with a professional Halo Player and decided to go this route, and we think it turned out pretty well. If we had to start over we would have put a video clip of people playing Halo Professionally. We could not do that because we could not find the right software to do so.

In this video Derek Hohenfeldt and I; Grant Jester will be showing the highlights of Miller High Schools Basketball Homecoming 2008. Although we did not record this video ourselves, we had a very close friend do it for us. After it was recorded by Mr. N we edited it to what we thought is of great quality(for us two that is). In this short video some of the things we could have done better is being more prepared and organized for the interviews with the homecoming candidates. Also by not leaving the freshman candidate out of the interviews because we did not have enough time left to find and record her. So to sum it all up, we both believe it was very good for work done by us, but we could have done much better with more experience and if we would have had more time in school.

In this highly educational video you will learn how not to install speakers. Although the beginning purpose of this video was to inform you on how to install speakers it turned into a comical video that isn't comical unitl the end. What could have improved this video in my eyes as well as my partners is that the speakers would have worked. As well as if my entire car would have been in the picture. On the flip side I enjoyed Thomas' ending line. So all and all i thought this video turned out well.

Podcasting and Blogs: A Professor Responds
I've been a lurker on your blog for some time, and first of all, I want to thank you. I love reading your writing, and I love viewing your podcasts. The blog and you, as a class and as writers, are amazing. I've even shown my own university classes your blog, and they are amazed at the work that you do. I created a link below to a page that includes much information and rationale for using New Literacies, such as blogs and podcasts, in classrooms. Here's a sampling of info:
- Over 80 percent of kindergarteners use computers, and over 50 percent of children under age 9 use the Internet.
- At least 61 virtual colleges/universities (VCUs) currently educate students in the U.S.
- In 2006, 158.6 billion text messages were sent in the U. S.
- Over 106 million individuals are registered on MySpace.
- There are at least 91 million Google searches per day.
- The European Institute for E-Learning aims to enhance Europe’s position in the knowledge economy by achieving the goal “e-Portfolio for all” by 2010.
Mr. Neuburger is absolutely preparing you for the future. The person who responded only discusses sentence-level concerns and grammar. As a researcher of writing and reading, and as a professor, I know, and my colleagues do to, that there is much more to communication and writing instruction than a few typos. Composition researchers look at higher order concerns like ideas and even student motivation to write. As many of you have suggested, your writing and your interest has improved. People who write on blogs increase their fluency (# of words they can generate). If you return to your blog posts, I'm sure you will see the same thing. I'm also sure that you've learned a lot about yourselves as writers through writing and through reading the writing of others.
To be prepared for the future, you need to know multimodal literacies. That includes being able to create media, which is what you do almost weekly in your podcasts. Podcasts and blogs are some of the ultimate communication tools. You don't just READ media. You CREATE it. I only wish I were lucky enough to have an English teacher like Mr. N.
Research supports the use of blogs and podcasts as part of an English class. Recently, a researcher named Applebee (2007) found that in 40% of twelfth grade classrooms students write less than three pages A YEAR. Can you believe that? You've accomplished so much more.
I'm sure your parents have told you this. There will be many people in this world who will try to bring you down in some way. This person attacked your writing, but I want you to know there are many more people in this world who respect Mr. Neuburger's work and your writing. Keep writing everyday! This reader loves it!

Podcasting mite not live on much longer but for now it is used for everything. If you get on the internet, you will be surprised to find how many web sites have podcasting. I mite go make a funny, sad, etc.. video of myself, and will have the ability to post it on the web. This skill may be a useless tool for you, but for us some mite use it and some will drop it like a rock after they get out of high school. I am happy that you at least commented something good on one of our podcast. If I may please ask to ever comment on our web site aka (

I think that Mr. Neuberger is doing a good job because most of the people in the Applied Communications class don't take it serious. Even though we may never use pod casting after high school we are still learning communication. I know that after I have been pod castings for awhile it has improved my writing. I bet there are some elementary students that could do a better job, but they also have been taught different. If you think you can teach us better English than come show us how to do it. I think that in the long run this will make communication easier for us by pod casting instead of doing nothing. I think teaching us a little more grammar and stuff from the books would help our writing, but pod casting is still teaching us. I did not think that some of the things you said were very right especially towards teachers. I think if you had read our writing before the pod cast you would think we improved.

I think that Mr. Neuburger is doing a great job teaching us. Some people don't take the class serious and slack off and write nonsense. Others try and we do a great job, so we have been told. Some things we don't need to know but we are getting taught, but in away it's helping us learn good writing and communication skills for the future. We learn how to use the computer and how to express our opinion though bloging. We also write in a journal at the beginning of each class. I think there are some elementary kids who can write better but they have been taught better. Each year of kids get a better education than the last. No disrespect but there is probably an elementary kid who can write better than you. I think if you are so good at writing than maybe you need to come and teach the class. Also I think you need to come forward and tell who you are, say what you want to our faces not just write it on the blog. Oh look your using the blog, and you thought no one would in the future.

Dear Ninya Biznez,
Thank you very much for the compliment on the "Coach Stoke's Interview." My partner and I worked hard to entertain viewers in an educational way. As we have all found out, you must be very smart in the field of English. I have already been taught by you that communication is spelled in all capital letters. As you may not know, our school is not blessed with necessary equipment needed to help us learn better writing skills. If you would like to help us out I am sure that Mr. Neuburger would not mind you donating money to go towards things that will help us out. Another big reason of our bad writing skills is our attention span. It is not our teachers fault or our schools fault, but ours. We really do not think that we will need to apply the things we learn, so we pay attention until we are tired of paying attention. Sounds bad, but it is true. I am sure that you were in high school at one point in your life. Surely you did what every typical high school student would do and not pay full attention. Maybe you did, but most likely you did not. Well thank you for your comments and complaints.
Sincerely, Kal Johnson

To be quite frank on the subject of your comment is was completely unnecessary. The comment she made on us being taught useless stuff is rather wrong. How does she know what will be needed in the near future. For all possibilities this could be a very important skill for jobs. Besides how do you know that the grammar in our sketches isn't good? I mean you didn't know are grammar skills before this and you don't know how much we have learned. Anyways what gives you the authority to criticize us? Are you a parent of a child in this class? Plus if you are then isn't your child in this class which means your child was one of the kids with this "bad" grammar. So why don't you teach your own child and maybe then he or she can enlighten us on the matter. From now on why not try taking into consideration on whom you are criticizing and the possibilities that could be at hand.

Dear Ninya Biznez,
First of all I would like to thank you for your complement of the Coach Stokes Interview my co-conspirator and I worked very hard on that piece and we are happy to hear that someone outside of the classroom has enjoyed our work. But I also do not like your criticism of our teacher's skills it is very hard to work with a group of teenagers such as ourselves, especially with the materials provided to us. Also I agree with your opinion that learning how to pod cast is not one of the most impressive skills to learn but it will help us in our future career choices what ever they might be not only because it does teach us communication skills but it also familiarizes us with many different uses of the internet and the Macintosh operating system. In conclusion I believe that you should take a night class at a local college or a continuing education class offered by many local colleges, because truly you have also made some grammatical errors, thus you are a hypocrite.
Sincerely, Ben Logan

Posting by Email
Posted 01/12/2008
I looked at all the blogs in Alice's Restaurant. Rather than teach students to post a podcast to the web, which they will more than likely not need to do after they leave high school, I think they should have been taught better COMMUNICATION, through better writing skills. I read this was an Applied Communications class. It appeared, from their writings, the students need to learn how to communicate through writing. To be quite frank I think some elementary students can write better than this. All teachers need to start teaching better grammar to students, especially English Teachers.To end on a more positive note, I thought the "Coach Stokes Interview" was humorous. (I will say I didn't look at the writing skills of the interview.) Ninya Biznez
